Photograph of Marines Firing at Japanese Positions on Iwo Jima. Marines Shell Jap Positions On Iwo Jima. Across the litter on Iwo Jima's black sands, Marines of the 4th Division shell Jap positions cleverly concealed back from the beaches. Coming ashore in Coast Guard-manned and Navy landing craft, Marines seized a foothold under murderous crossfire and soon had set up artillery to reply to enemy fire. Here, a gun pumps a stream of shells into Jap positions inland on the tiny volcanic island in Tokyo's "front yard.".
